In the first message which was aired by multiple TV networks and went viral on social media platforms, the chief of Tablighi Jamaat in India is heard telling his followers that there is no better place to die than a mosque. He is also heard in the message attributed to him by media networks, saying the government order on not assembling in mosques and elsewhere was a conspiracy to divide Muslims and keep them away from mosques and offering prayers.

Many members of the Ijtemah or religious congregation in the Nizamuddin Markaz developed Coronavirus symptoms in various states and have been reported positive.

More than 2300 members of the Tablighi Jamaat who stayed in the or centre in Nizamuddin were evacuated in an overnight operation on the intervening night of Tuesday and Wednesday.
